El Mac, probably best known for his Barack Obama poster, has a pretty stunning new art print available. “Ixtaccihuatl” is a 30″ x 30″ screenprint, has an edition of 75, and is $400. I can’t really get behind the price, but it sure looks cool. Visit ElMac.net.

I went to the Self Help Graphics show yesterday, where this was one of the many prints. they were ALL priced this high. it was surreal, being surrounded by PRINTS that were at minimum 250$. and usually $300+. (and they weren’t exclusively tiny runs either. 80s. 200s.)

I wish there had been a warning on the flyer, “for rich collectors and gallery owners only. unless you want to buy an 8×6 woodcut print for 40 bucks”.

on the high side: this piece is gorgeous when seen at 30×30. not $400 gorgeous. but $80 you-betcha gorgeous.
